That's How I Remember Yesterday

That's How I Remember Yesterday - The Limeliters

Sometimes I stop and think about

The way things used to be

When I was just a kid out on the street

Everything was simple then

At least it seemed that way

So when life gets more than I can take

My thought ago racing back to yesterday

When Detroit put steel in every car

Freeways didn't come through yards

To put two arms around a girl

Was going pretty far

A little was a lot to us

But people seemed to have more trust

And that's how I remember yesterday

When I never walked I always ran

My first fight was second hand

And anything worth having came for free

There were times when times were tough

But people seemed to have enough

And that's how I remember yesterday

But now the years go by so fast

Friendships come and go

The world to day is different than before

Lovers still walk hand in hand

Good things never change

Cause love still makes the world go round

And that's how I remember yesterday

We looked up to cops and down on crooks

Fished with last years fishing hooks

I never feared the darkness

When I woke up in the night

Cause the rumble of a distant train

Would put me back to sleep again

And that's how I remember yesterday

We had fields to fly our paper kites

Picture shows on Friday night

Basketball on Saturday I always got to play

A dime back then was worth a quarter

Mother was a name to honor

And that's how I remember yesterday

When Detroit put steel in every car

Freeways didn't come through yards

To put two arms around a girl

Was going pretty far

A little was a lot to us

But people seemed to have more trust

And that's how I remember yesterday

That's how I remember yesterday
